“A superb cottage in a great location”



“We had a warm welcome and the cottage exceeded our expectations. Everything you could possibly need was provided and more and dogs are truly welcome. This made it great to retreat to after enjoying the great outdoors. The location gave easy access to Rye, Hastings and Battle so great for walking and visiting historical places of interest. The whole area was dog friendly which made planning days out easy. I would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone - with or without a dog.”

“Cosy and chic--met every one of our (high) expectations”



“Perfectly situated in Wirksworth which in itself is perfectly situated in the Peak District, Cosy Cottage was the ideal venue for our family of three's (plus dog) late summer holiday. Fantastically appointed down to picnic-ing supplies, lovely bath products, big fluffy towels, iPod and speaker, a great selection of movies and CD's, starter kit for the wood burning fireplace--the cottage has everything you could possibly need. The decor was the perfect balance of chic/trendy/country--all very stylish without being over the top.
Within very easy walking distance is a SPAR for basic suppies; within easy walking distance is Wirksworth town centre with a variety of pubs, what looked to be two nice restaurants, a couple of tea rooms, a coffee house, a deli, a larger grocery store and some very quaint shops. Our day trips included Ilam Hall, Bakewell and the Monsal Trail and Middleton Top, all very accessible from the cottage.
My one suggestion for the cottage would be a better organisation of the brochures and attractions leaflets they had available (perhaps into a ringed binder?) and also a guest comment book--it's just nice to see what others have done to get ideas on planning.
We will definitely be back as we only scratched the surface of what the Peak District has to offer and we loved Cosy Cottage!”

“Ideal cottage well equipped with very helpful owners. Wonderful walking country direct from the door as is also the town of Wirksworth which has many small privately owned shops. We have already booked to return again soon.”

“Comfortable, Well-Located Cottage in the Derbyshire Dales”



“This is a comfortable, excellently-located cottage and I would recommend it, particularly to visitors such as ourselves with a dog or to those with a child (or two if they are happy to share a double bed). We know Wirksworth well, having made around a dozen visits over the last five years. We usually rent one or other of two different cottages (not listed on Trip Advisor) but neither of these were available for the week we wanted so we decided to try Cosy Cottage which is new to the holiday rental market. It is situated in the row parallel to our usual favourite cottage, which makes it an ideal substitute.
The living room is well-furnished with everything we needed and we appreciated the large-screen Freeview (or is it FreeSat?) television very much. The weather was warm so we didn’t need to light the fire. However, it looked as though everything we needed for a fire was there waiting. The two sofas did seem a little on the hard side but the armchair was superb.
The kitchen/diner is very well equipped and we were comfortable preparing and eating our meals in there. The Welcome Pack of goodies was very generous and included a loaf of bread which we recognised as coming from our favourite local baker in the town – also a very nice bottle of wine.
We chose the front bedroom because it had two bedside lamps and a more attractive view from the window. The bed is very comfortable and there is adequate storage for a week’s clothes. The back bedroom, slightly smaller, looked very comfortable too. Purely subjective, but the bedroom floors are left un-carpeted which I, personally do not like in bedrooms. However, my wife loved it because it emphasised the historic nature of the cottage.
The bathroom, which we understand was nearly new when the present owners bought the cottage, is large and beautifully fitted out, including a shower with an interesting Jacuzzi option. The water pressure in all the cottages at this end of the town is abysmal and fluctuates wildly. We are used to it from our usual cottage and never find it a major problem. One thing we definitely did not like, however, was the bath, which has to be the most uncomfortable bath we have ever used! It is very modern, shaped to sit at either end but very narrow. It would be ideal for children but is much too small for the average adult to laze about in it comfortably. To make matters worse, the taps are in the centre so you keep banging your elbows on them when washing! The owner is aware of the problem and it is on the ‘to do’ list – remember, this is a new venture and they are reacting to the constructive input from their visitors.
The garden is delightful and, the weather being sunny and warm during our stay, we sat out there to eat on some occasions.
As i said at the start, this is a welcoming cottage which we would recommend others to try”

Matlock 6 miles.

Wirksworth is a small, charming market town situated just a few miles from Matlock, on the edge of the White Peak. Wirksworth is full of character with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient “jitties” and courtyards of the Puzzle Gardens, along with the Heritage Centre, as well as the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water, Black Rocks and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is good walking all around. Well Dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival. The annual Arts festival attracts international performers of every kind. Beautiful Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath with its spectacular cable car, the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliver's Kingdom. Only 2 miles away, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in Cromford is not to be missed. In all, Wirksworth is a great location for a varied holiday.
